How Must Schizophrenia Be Treated?

I have schizophrenia. Two nights ago I blackedout for about 3 hours and have no recollection of what I was doing. According to him I rambled on for about an hour about things that made no sense - planning a wedding, telling him to put my dogs in the oven, having one-sided conversations with myself (probably answering the voices), and even had sex with him. I remember none of this. The last thing I remember is eating chips and salsa on my bed. I dont remember falling asleep, doing any of this, or anything else. The first thing I remember is waking up in the morning having no recollection of what happened the night before, and hours missing from my mind. I do not drink nor do drugs. I am currently off my anti0psychotic (latuda) but will be starting back tomorrow. What happened? I am very scared for my life.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, your psychotic symptoms are getting back. In that case, you should consult your psychiatrist to restart the treatment. If you think, you feel better with latuda, again you take restart with this drug. That would help to control symptoms in initial stage. Try to take medicine for longer period. That would help to control relapse. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
